  8. Bar-tailed Godwit (European)

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    ***mega; basic plumage in primary molt; lapponica--underwing does not appear barred enough for bauri, white-rumped and somwhat ratty. This bird seemed baby-faced for a godwit, noticebly more petite than Hudsonian Godwits in direct comparison, and extremely pale. It's upturned bill was ~ 60/40 pink and black, and it fed with Hudsonians in typical sewing machine godwit style (but noticeably more flightly); many photos
